On 6 July 2026, the European Commission adopted 12 decisions by written procedure, covering a broad range of policy areas from trade defence to financial regulation and bilateral agreements. The package includes an implementing regulation imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on Chinese tyres, a proposal for an EU-Nigeria return and readmission agreement, and exceptional assistance for Ukraine.
The decisions were taken under the Commission's written procedure, which allows the college to adopt acts without a formal meeting. Among the financial measures, the Commission adopted a delegated regulation amending settlement discipline rules under the Central Securities Depositories Regulation (CSDR), an implementing regulation amending CSDR information templates, and a delegated regulation amending the CSDR review process. These acts aim to refine the EU's post-trade securities framework.
On trade defence, the Commission imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on certain pneumatic tyres originating in China, following an investigation. A separate urgent implementing regulation on trade measures was also adopted.
In external relations, the Commission proposed two Council decisions on the EU-Nigeria return and readmission agreement, which would establish procedures for the return of irregular migrants. It also adopted an implementing decision on exceptional macro-financial assistance for Ukraine.
Other decisions include a Commission opinion on Austria's draft budgetary plan, guidance on Natura 2000 and climate change, a positive opinion on Belgium's draft royal decree on plant-based foodstuffs, a report evaluating the Animal Health Law, and a proposal authorising Ireland to apply a reduced excise duty on gas oil for road transport. Additionally, the Commission appointed an alternate member to the InvestEU Steering Board.
The measures will now proceed to the European Parliament and Council where applicable, notably the trade defence regulation and the readmission agreement proposals, which require Council approval.
